Blu
Distant trains still echo "Blu"
at night
just like my thoughts of you...
as silence stiffens
inside me...
listening...
see me hide
my tears,
like hiding truth
creating fear.
How long
will I
stay hidden here?
Like sands
of time,
keep waiting
falling
back in line
through glass,
The lock on time
the key I'll find,
the test I'll pass.
